Since longitudinal lines are like "markers" for time, (every 15 degrees is one hour) and all longitudinal lines meet at the North Pole and South Pole, what time is it at the exact point that these lines meet?
Or even the North or South pole?
And if you were to stand a meter away from the point of convergence and run around it in a circle, wouldn't that be considered traveling time???
Heheheh...:D

I know this is yahoo, but do a google search with the words "north pole time zone" and the first result gives you the answer. Unfortunately it sends you right back to yahoo.

As for the second part, that verb usually indicates that you're going somewhere, not running in circles like an idiot in one of the coldest places on the planet.... so, no!

In most places on Earth, local time is roughly synchronized to the position of the sun in the sky. Thus, at midday the sun is roughly at its highest. This method fails at the North Pole where the sun is continuously in the sky for six months. There is no permanent human presence at the North Pole, and no particular time zone has been assigned. Polar expeditions may use any time zone that is convenient, such as GMT, or the time zone of the country they departed from.
